Book Illustration

Beautiful illustration is a huge aspect of many children’s books! If you are in want of eye-catching, professional art to accompany your story, look no further than Night Heron Media. 

Benefits of Including Illustrations in a Book
By soliciting a professional artist, the quality of your book is sure to go up that much higher. Beautiful illustrations are sure to draw the attention of curious children, as well as fascinate them throughout the story. With pictures to correlate with the words, your story will increase the impact that it has. Because children may not have the strongest grasp of literature yet, pictures will help their little minds to understand and appreciate your writing.

Getting Started with Illustrations for Your Book
Though you will be outsourcing the illustrations to a professional artist, you will still maintain much of the creative control over the project. The first step of this is, of course, to decide what sort of art style you want for your book. Many children’s books use distinctive art styles to differentiate themselves from competitors. So get thinking about your art style! Is the story whimsy, spooky, or practical? Is the tone cheerful, dark, or silly? What are the themes? These are all factors that can be used to develop an art style!

After you have decided on the style you want, Night Heron Media will connect you with a capable artist, whom you will work with to create the perfect illustrations for your children’s book. Working with the artist, you will be able to decide on character designs, color palettes, and all the nitty-gritty details of the artwork.
